How can I write this? Her going was difficult. She died in her 50s. Still a young woman. My visit to her left me feeling like the angel of death. I read to her poetry about dying. What was I thinking as she winced at my reading? This was not going as I hoped. I could not prevail over her fear and despair. The nuns had left me alone in the room with her; this sectarian Jewish woman of the Bahai faith.
